42 CLARK GENEALOGY. 18. Dan' QJohn,^ Matthew,'^ John''), b. Aug. 11, 1748; m. (see Andrews' New Britain, 193) Jan. 24, 1771, Lucy Stan- ley, bom about 1744, died June 26, 1794, aged 50, daughter of Thomas and Mary (Francis) Stanley. He married, 2d, Oct. 25, 1795, Abi Lewis, daughter of Phinehas and Sarah (Norton) Lewis. He died Dec. 9, 1827, and is buried by the side of his first wife in the Old Cemetery of Farmington. In his will, which was dated Jan. 4, 1820, and proved Dec. 81, 1827, he gives his estate to his wife Abi, his son Matthew, his grandson Dan Clark 2d, and his granddaughter Abi. He lived in New Britain, Conn., on Clark Hill. In the Justice Records of Gov. Treadwell in the year 1780 and onward, Dan Clark appears as a tythingman and grand- Juror. Numerous young people of botli sexes, some of whom afterwards became very prominent and influential citizens of tlie town, were brought by him before his Honor, usually for " playing and talking in the time of public worship against the Peace and Laws of the State," or for " playing one or more Games at Cards against the Peace and Laws of the State," and one man of an honorable family because " he not having the fear of God before his eyes, did on the Lord's Day, that is on the 15th day of instant October neglect to attend Public worship." Fine three shillings and costs. Mr. Clark, though no doubt a terror to evil doers, was only in sympathy with the times. Certainly his zeal did not equal that of another officer, noticed in the same record, who brought fifteen young people of the first families of the place before the same magistrate because "they did convene to- gether at the Dwelling House of Nehemiah Street and refused to disperse until after nine of the Clock at Night." Fine six shillings. Case appealed to the County Court.
Child by his first marriage : 27. i. Matthew, b. Oct. 2, 1773. DAN, ABEL. 43 19. Abel' (-John,' Matthew^' John'), b. 1750 ; m. Jan. 6, 1774, Abigail Judd, born June 5, 1752, died April 27, 1829, daughter of James and Hannah (Andrews) Judd. He lived in the house formerly occupied by his father in Stanley Quarter, New Britain. He was one of the seventy signers of an agree- ment made the 3d of September, 1774, "to be in readiness and duly equipped with aims and ammunition to proceed to Boston for the relief of our distressed and besieged brethren there," but from ill health he took no active part in the war of the Revolution, which soon followed. Abel died April 27, 1824, aged 74, and was interred in the old cemetery of New Britain, where the remains of his wife also rest. They same day of the same month, if their epitaphs died on the can be trusted. His will was dated April 27, 1814, and proved May 21, 1824, by which he gave his estate to his wife Abigail, his son John, his daughter Mary Andrews, and his grandchildren Elizur Claik, Cornelia Andrews, John Clark Andrews, Mary An- drews, and Ophelia Webster Clark. 'JL^. Their children were: i. Samukl, b. Oct. 80, 1774 ; d. Nov. (5, 1774, according to two separate entries in Farmington Town Records, vol. 17, pp. 431 and 445, but the gravestone reads Dec. 6, 1774, aged G days. Probably November is correct. Manly, b. April 1, 1776. Abigail, b. 1780 : d. May 7, 1785, aged 5.— (Gravestone.) Mauy, b. Sept. 25, 1784 (Andrews' Memorial, 234). John, b. March 20, 1787 (Andrews'' New Britain, 253).
